  • Incidence and Nature of Poverty in London (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2006
    These families are generally led by women; I wondered how significant you thought the gender pay-gap in London was, which is increasing - widening - here, whereas it isn't in the rest of the country. I understand that the most typical job for a woman here is paid at £5.30 an hour, whereas the most typical job for a man is paid at £17.50 an hour.

  • High Density Housing (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 11 July 2001
    This is about tall buildings. First of all, high-rise in my understanding does not always mean high density. Because it depends on the planning. And I would like you to explain that a bit. And the second thing is, how do you respond to the MORI poll that found that most Londoners oppose the construction of high-rise buildings?

  • Strategic Views (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 11 July 2001
    I just picked out that you talked about the view of the Tower of London, and I noticed the other day when I was shown lots and lots of views of Renzo Piano's proposed building for London Bridge that it actually rises directly behind the rather famous view of the Tower of London. What would you say to that?
